حمام المسافر أو الحمام البري، كان أحد أنواع الطيور الشائعة في أمريكا الشمالية. ويعيش في أسراب كبيرة مهاجرة قد تصل إلى أكثر من بليوني طائر - والتي يمكن أن تمتد لطول ميل كامل في السماء (1.6 كم) عرض و300 ميل (500 كم) طول وأحيانا يستغرق عبور أسراب الحمام الزاجل ساعات طويلة. [1][2]

- ^ "Three Hundred Dollars Reward; Will Be Paid for a Nesting Pair of Wild Pigeons, a Bird So Common in the United States Fifty Years Ago That Flocks in the Migratory Period Frequently Partially Obscured the Sun from View. How America Has Lost Birds of Rare Value and How Science Plans to Save Those That Are Left". New York Times. January 16, 1910 Sunday.
Unless the State and Federal Governments come to the rescue of American game, plumed, and song birds, the not distant future will witness the practical extinction of some of the most beautiful and valuable species. Already the snowy heron, that once swarmed in immense droves over the United States, is gone, a victim of the greed and cruelty of milliners whose "creations" its beautiful nuptial feathers have gone to adorn.
